Adult Fiction
Bucko by Cliff Farrell.
"Everyone believed
Matt Battles and his pal Johnny Kidd had been in on a train robbery, but there
was no proof other than the fact that Johnny was supposed to be guarding the
shipment and had disappeared. Then Sheriff Tom Chisholm offered Matt a chance
to clear their names. After pulling a fake robbery of the mercantile, Matt
would be sent to Stone Lodge prison to get close to the ones the sheriff
believed had robbed the train, escape with them, and recover the stolen gold to
clear his name. But when Matt arrives at the mercantile, someone else has
already robbed it and killed the owner. The only reason Matt isn't hanged is
because they hope he will reveal what he did with the $30,000 dollars that was
stolen. He is sent to Stone Lodge, not sure if the sheriff's plan will work or
if he will ever be able to prove his innocence of either crime."--
